Anyhow, this is the card I sent, very simple and I felt, adding the leaf and the bud apart is what he must be feeling like at the moment. I stamped the flower and just added distress inks to the flower, bud and leaf, a few gems and the simple sentiment and all finished. I've been putting off using this lovely stamp as I thought it could be difficult, but actually I didn't even need to use all the layers for it to look effective, I hope so anyway.

It's a truly gorgeous card, Faith! That image works so beautifully with the sentiment! I'm sure your thoughtfulness was much appreciated! :o)
This is one of the things that bother me about this virus, is the people passing all alone and not being able to have family support in person after you have lost someone. It is just so tragic. I'm so sorry this family has had so much tragedy in the last few years, it's not fair...but then nothing is, is it?! Your card is just beautiful Faith and I hope your neighbor get comfort from it. Hugs, Brenda
Faith that is an awesome CAS card and I'm sure that it will be appreciated.
Oh how sad for your neighbor. Your card is a lovely way to say you care & I know he must have appreciated it. Love the symbolism of the bud separate from the flower.
This is so magnificently simple, Faith, and yet it speaks volumes!
Beautiful card, for sad occasion.
I simply cannot imagine going through a loss during Covid. I remember what a difference it made for me to be surrounded by family and friends when my husband died. Your card is lovely - so simple and just perfect for a sympathy card.
